Trivia

  • (Friday January 9th 2004) The BBC halted his Kilroy (1986) programme after he made controversial remarks about Arabs in a newspaper article.
  • He was a Labour MP between 1976 and 1983.
  • [June 2004] Became an MEP for the UK Independence Party (UKIP), winning his seat by 26%, and helping the party jump to third highest votes in the Country, quadrupling its seats in the Euro elections.
  • On 14 June 2004 he was elected as MEP (Member of the European Parliament) for the East Midlands, representing the UK Independence Party which campaigns for the UK to withdraw from Europe so it may govern itself without interference from Brussels.
  • [February 2005] Left UKIP to form his own political party "Veritas" (which is Latin for "truth").

Quotes

  • Arab countries are not shining examples of civilisation are they? Few of them make much contribution to the welfare of the rest of the world. Apart from oil - that was discovered, produced and paid for by the West - what do they contribute? I can't think of anything useful.
  • I know that all Arabs are not suicide bombers of limb amputators. I know many are extremely urbane, intelligent, sophisticated and civilised people.
